CPUs/GPUs

CPU shortages can quickly derail tight production schedules, making it important to have a reliable source of CPUs and GPUs. Our global network enables us to quickly source current and obsolete CPUs and GPUs.

Medical

Medical device manufacturers count on Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions to source critical and non-critical components and proactively manage the supply chain.

Storage Devices

From onboard storage to hard drives, network attached storage, RAM, USB Flash, SSD, SD cards, tape drives, and beyond, we are your source for storage device sourcing.

Relays

Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions specializes in sourcing obsolete, hard-to-find relays including electromagnetic relays, solid state relays, hybrid relays, thermal relays, reed relays, and relays with long lead times.

Connectors

As simple as connectors may be, sourcing the right connectors for a given application is no easy task. Connectors that meet your exact specifications may be difficult to find, with long lead times, potentially disrupting production for an extended time. Put Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions to work sourcing connectors.

Passive Components

In recent years, lead times on passive components such as capacitors, resistors, transformers, and inductors have grown due to increased demand and lean inventory management practices. Since a lack of passive components can cripple production, having an alternative source is crucial.

Our Capabilities

The dynamics of production and inventory management are complex, interconnected functions that rely on a reliable source of materials, parts, and components — in the right mix. We have developed several capabilities to manage these processes including allocated product sourcing strategies, excess inventory management, 3rd party logistics (3PL), purchase price variance cost savings.

Quality Assurance:
ISO 9001:2015 & AS6081 Compliant Quality Assurance and Control Programs.

Allocated Product Sourcing & Solutions

Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions understands the dynamics of both production and inventory management. These are two complex, interconnected functions that rely on a reliable source of materials, parts, and components — in the right mix. Having excess products and materials on hand requires physical space, inventory management and significant warehousing and carrying costs. Not having the appropriate supply chain program leads to downtime. Getting it just right through allocated product sourcing helps you to find the right balance.

Third Party Testing Services

Buying obsolete material on the open market may be your only choice once OEM manufacturers stop producing them, but how can you be sure you are getting OEM original product and not refurbished? Third party testing plays an important role in validating material to confirm their authenticity and quality. Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions offers third party testing services to ensure the safety and integrity of excess supply. Our lab partnerships enable us to provide a wide range of testing, analysis, inspection, certification, product development, failure engineering, counterfeit detection, and other evaluations.

3rd Party Logistics (3PL)

Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions offers comprehensive 3rd party logistics (3PL) solutions, enabling you to save time, warehouse space, and money while leveraging our logistical expertise and distribution network. 3PL is the outsourcing of logistical processes including inventory management, warehousing and distribution, and fulfillment.

Our warehouse management software can handle thousands of SKUs accurately and reliably. We use industrial label printers to produce secure, compliant barcodes and shipping labels. All items are packed with ESD protection first and then packaged to protect against breakage and damage while in transit.

Excess Inventory Management

Whether you have over-ordered, stopped production for some unforeseen reason, or have extra materials on hand that you will likely never use, storing excess inventory takes up valuable warehouse space. That inventory has value, so it is understandable to want to hold on to it or resist disposing of it. Even if you want to throw it away, environmental concerns and green initiatives may stand between your overcrowded warehouse and the landfill. So, what can you do about excess inventory?

Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions offers several excess inventory management solutions that can free up warehouse space and help you recoup some of your costs.

Purchase Price Variance Cost Savings

Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions has helped many of our customers to achieve purchase price variance (PPV) cost savings. PPV is the difference between the standard or budgeted price of an item minus the actual cost and multiplied by the quantity ordered. For example, if you ordered parts for $0.70 each last year but are now paying $0.60 each, the PPV has improved. While ten cents may not seem like much on the surface, when you multiply that times hundreds, thousands, or hundreds of thousands parts, you can see just how important purchase price variance can be to your profit improvement plan.

Quality Assurance and Control Programs

ISO 9001:2015 –— ISO 9001:2015 is the latest iteration of an international quality management system (QMS) standard. Elite Procurement & Logistics Solutions follows the seven quality principles are outlined by ISO 9001:2015 (Customer Focus, Leadership, Engagement of People, Process Approach, Improvement, Evidence-Based Decision Making, and Relationship Management) as well as the five tactical elements (Plan-DoCheck-Act Cycle, Risk-based Thinking, Leadership Participation, Unified Structure, and Clarified Documentation Requirements).
